Good catch on both of you guys. My little Ruger .380 has no safety either but I don't anticipate shooting my pecker off with it either. The first time I picked up an M-16, I thought you have to be kidding, this thing is plastic. I graduated to a CAR-15 and learned to love them both. I love to fire a Glock but can't bring myself to buy one. I wear shorts most of the year, don't really carry often but don't want to stick a big old Glock in my front pocket. "Is that a pickle in your pocket, a Glock or are you just glad to see me".

That sounds like a 1911A1 which is a pretty good sized load to tote around concealed although I did in DR for six months in 1965. I carried it in the small of my back but would not have wanted to have needed it in a hurry. They make some smaller clones in both .45 ACP & 9 mm but I don't need anymore pistolas.

Yes, that's what I learned on. I don't know much about the modern stuff.

I've always made fun of Glock as being "tupperware guns."The reality is that most manufacturers are using polymer in their frames.There's even a couple of companies producing AR-15 lower receivers out of polymer.Not too sure about that. I built mine on a good ole aluminum mil-spec lower.

As far as jimi's comment, I in no way break any laws carrying a concealed firearm into University Mall. "Mall rules" and municipal ordinances/State Code of Alabama are two different things.I have a permit to carry my firearm in a concealed manner. If the mall finds out about it, they may ask me to leave. The deal is, there's been car break-ins, robberies, etc. during daylight hours in the parking lot.It's not the inside of the mall I'm worried about, it's when I get outside.Of course recent events have put the idea in my head that I'm vulnerable inside as well.You can't hide from the crazies, but the law does allow proper persons to own and even carry firearms for their own protection.

Lib, I recall a post you made a while back that you had a decent-sized gun collection that you sold off when you decided to "write-off" guns. I bet you had quite a few items I would've loved to have.

Are you aware that you make a complete fool of yourself on this forum or is it some sort of game to see who can be be biggest jerk? I have no idea why the moderators haven't booted you off long ago for just taking up bandwidth with nonsense unless you are some sort of plant by The Tuscaloosa News.

So, you are also an anarchist, who has no regard for the law. Nice.
